Tres chic. And that is undoubtedly a pearl clasp on the jacket.
For two hundred bones, best it be pearl, Mae.
For these "one time wear" type events, I still believe that Junior League consignment stores are the way to go for value and quality.
But what do I know, since I never attend those events?
Evening cheers.
I like this one better.
Would you mind posting the URL of that site?
How did you begin your search to find this stuff?
Yeeesssss!
And I just googled "tuxedo formals" and looked at the sites.
Come on grain prices! Corn was two dollars a bushel fifty years ago! The dollar is worth ninety percent less...
Isn't that classy?
Well, I've done a search, too.
I think I'll just stay at home.

OG will kiss your toes.
That SOUNDS kinky.
As a matter of fact,,, it IS kinky.
Shame on you.


Have you tried www.nordstrom.com and www.talbots.com? Oh, and have a glass of wine while you shop. It always improves the experience.
I own stock in Talbots. They know my plastic's number by heart. I have all the catalogs. I haven't tried Nordstroms yet. I get all their catalogs, too, and haven't seen anything I'm willing to pay the postage for to look it over.
But you know, that dark velvet is very much like what I planned to have a dressmaker construct for me, only in cobalt blue. I saw the one you've posted in the Talbot's catalog.
It is not all THAT kinky...is it?
I love shopping for other folks.
Whoa!
That's IG in the Nord's pic!
How did you do that?
She should go for that one. Period. End of story.
Let's go get some BBQue tonight.
Before you leave to get your BBQ I wanted to aske about your trip North.
Somehow I remember the 31st of October. Is that the day you arrive or the day you return?
It's a crazy, busy time here. I'm not sure I'll get to see you this time around. I honestly have no way of knowing what my obligations will be on Tuesday of this week, let alone that far down the road.
Details of trip. If you please.
Black velvet bodice with purple silk charmeuse skirt.
Boat neckline.
Three-quarter sleeves.
Purple sash with faux flower around waist. Flared skirt.
Blouse, 90% polyester, 10% spandex; skirt, 92% silk, 8% spandex.
